Statement of Redeemer Parish to the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh Upon the Relinquishment of Its Property

May 31, 2012

After prayerful consideration, the Vestry of Redeemer Parish
has decided that it is not interested in “purchasing” any property from the
Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. We had
hoped to quickly reach agreement on the list of items we wanted to take to our
new home, but the Episcopal Diocese’s response – particularly its interest in
“retaining” memorial gifts and items purchased after we realigned with the
Anglican Diocese – make clear to us that this is not possible. We cannot agree to “purchase” items of
property that were lovingly donated by our parish members for the use of our
congregation.

The Episcopal Diocese sued for our shirt. We hereby give you our coat. Matthew 5:40.
We have completed our departure from St. David’s. We have taken only our personal property and that which is not ours to give –9 green striped
chairs and spinet piano that the owners loaned to the church.
